Other Nights of the Week: Remixed Record Covers and Gonzales


While we’re not giddily holding our breath for this Saturday’s joint party with Spank, here are a couple other things we’ll be doing.

Tonight, BAM opens an exhibition of contemporary artists’ takes on record covers. We don’t know any of the artists’ names, and we don’t know what albums they’ve chosen, but we love BAM, so we’re down.  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we’ll get our live music fixes, first with Caveman, a harmonizing lo-fi quintet; then with post bob saxophonist Joe Lovano; and finally with silly, virtuosic pianist Gonzales.

Sunday, in the aftermath of whatever transcendence occurs on Saturday, we’ll go check out Stephane Wrembel at Barbés. Hopefully this time there will be dancing. Monday is a holiday after all.
